Samsung is back with an all-new Galaxy S25 that's a little more affordable

There's a new way to own a Galaxy S25 and it's a little bit cheaper than before. Samsung has just announced the launch of its new FE (Fan Edition) model which will start from just £649. That's £150 less than the standard S25 which launched all the way back in January. Despite its lower cost, the S25 FE comes packed with upgrades including a triple-lens rear camera with 50MP main lens, huge 4,900mAh battery and fast charging.

There's also a big 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, bigger vapour chamber to keep things cool under pressure (that should be good news for gamers), and it's surrounded by an enhanced Armor Aluminum frame to help it stand the test of time.

Of course, like all new Samsung phones, it features Galaxy AI, which can automatically improve your photos and even remove unwanted background noise from videos via the Audio Eraser function.

It also features access to Google's clever Gemini Live, which lets you chat to the device like a real person and it features Samsung's Now Bar and Now Brief. That means users will see personalised updates pop up on the display throughout the day.

It's available from today in Icy blue, Jet black, Navy, and White with Samsung offering some eye-catching deals to get some interest going.

I've already had my hands on the new S25 FE and it's another decent device from Samsung. It feels super premium in the hand and has a pixel-packed 6.7-inch display.

There are all the AI smarts found on the standard S25, including full Google Gemini access, plus other features such as fast charging and a toughened design. No, it doesn't get the impressive Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the cameras can't match the Ultra and there are less colour choices but if those things don't worry you then the FE is one to watch out for.

The only issues from my short time with this phone could be that it only comes in one large screen size, and it is still pretty expensive.

Samsung has got some promotional offers, but I can't help thinking a £599 price tag would seem more appealing.

We hope to have a full review soon.

Those heading to the firm's website will get a guaranteed £100 off when trading in their current phone, and they can also claim a Galaxy Watch7 worth £239.
